By Inside Guide • 26 October 2022
The grand open-air amphitheatre at Spier Wine Farm in Stellenbosch is the setting for this wonderfully festive event taking place on 26 November and featuring two of music’s most enduring genres: jazz and classical.
Jazz & Classical Encounters Festival Volume 4, the 2022 edition features the likes of Sibusiso Mashiloane, Herbie Tsoaeli, Ayanda Sikade, Khanyisile Mthetwa and Peter Cartwright and The Kirby Ensemble.
Are you ready for eight hours of mind-blowing music?
The event runs from early afternoon until late evening, so you’ll be able to enjoy live performances during the day, at sunset, and beneath the starlit sky.
Picnic baskets are available and can be enjoyed in the Amphitheatre during the show, and guests may pop out at any time to stretch their legs, grab a bite to eat, and stroll around the farm.
